Hopefully that changes and when it does, some of us will be ready.

Except for the two Australian on-line programs, there is no on-line degree program that I know of either. This should change, too, hopefully.

Yes, most of us are busy with other irons in the fire. Perhaps a stated time frame for chapters or maybe a test date will be a delineator, if tests are given.

There are probably better people on the forum to teach this class, but as a fallback position, I am willing to teach it. We'll need to get a list of who is interested, and identify a text-book.
Thanks for the support.

Hopefully, many will be interested in doing this.

It would be a plus for some if the text-book was on the web.
Are there any? [If not] I would be willing to order one if necessary.
